This is something that I wrote in 2001, a year after my Mikey-poo went off to college...I think it speaks for itself...
Solving Life’s Puzzles
I think I have too much time on my hands.
Ever since my youngest child left for college last year, I’ve been pondering life’s philosophical questions. The problem is, I’m actually answering them.
I first answered the question, "Is the glass half empty or half full?" The answer? It depends. If the glass is in the process of being filled, (maybe you’re pouring a glass of milk), and you stop halfway, then the glass is half full. If the glass is in the process of being emptied, (you are drinking the milk), and you stop halfway, the glass is half empty. Now, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
The next deep, burning question I answered was, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" The chicken came first, of course.
You ask, "Why of course?" Well, I’ll tell you. If you believe God created the animals on day six, then there’s your answer. Genesis doesn’t say anything about creating eggs.
If, on the other hand, you believe chickens evolved from lizards, the answer is the same, and here is the logic. The first chicken must have been hatched from a lizard egg, because chickens did not yet exist. Therefore, the first chicken came before the first chicken egg.
It’s only been a year, and I’ve already solved these two mind-boggling questions. Just think what amazing revelations I’ll have for you by this time next year.
I definitely have too much time on my hands.
